What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a system of medicine based on the healing power of nature. Food and lifestyle choices are natures first medicine and naturopathy is a holistic system, enabling a variety of therapies such as nutrition, lifestyle choices and other complementary medicines to facilitate a patients healing.

There are two areas of focus for a naturopath, one is to support the body’s own healing ability and the other is to empower people to make lifestyle changes necessary for the best possible health. Naturopathic medicine tries to find the underlying cause of the condition rather than focusing on treating the symptoms. Naturopathy encompasses treating the whole person mind, body and spirit.
